Randynose was ‘passing by the Native Pride Truck Stop, near Hanover, New York. Great place for cheap tobacco. If your into that kind of thing. Smokes are 4 bucks a pack, instead of $8.00′.

@DriverChrisMc View From The Cab for this week is the ‘tree at rest area southbound on I 81 in Virginia’.

In New Zealand Vic H was ‘on the way back from Timaru to Auckland, a few photos taken firstly through the Cheviot Hills, north of Christchuch’…

…’Then going past the engine shed of Steam Incorporated at Paekakariki, just north of Wellington’…

…’And following another of our tankers along the Himitangi straights’…

…’Before reaching Waiouru and the start of the Desert Road’.

Al Goodhall was at ‘Eden’s extension. Going to be a long ride through Chicago tonight’.

The last member of the Tachoblog Tribe in View From The Cab this week is Amishtrucker. He was off ‘along Farm to Market Road 136. It is like the back road coming out of Corpus Christi Texas going to Refugio, Texas’…

…’It runs along the northern edge of Copano Bay which comes in by Rockport, Texas.

…’South Texas scenery and south Texas traffic’.

And that’s all for this week’s View From The Cab.

Vic H says

Amishtrucker, it looks like it’s time you had a new windscreen! (or whatever you call the front bit of glass in the US)

Lester Graber says

Yes Vic, I need a new windscreen, or windshield as we call them here! This is a temporary piece of junk as I like to call it. I am getting another sprinter real soon and this one can go back to sort of being a backup.

With the 80′s temps we have had here in Texas this week, seeing all the snow is interesting, but then again I am glad that I only have to see the pictures and not the real thing.

Tachoblog Does the Dakar With BiketruckNow here’s a great idea. If you’re a keen biker and have a fascination with the famous / infamous Dakar Rally then why not have a classic Dakar route adventure of your own but without all the hassle.

Classic DAFs on TachoblogTachoblog thanks Chris Campbell for sending in these great pictures. Chris starts by saying ‘I thought you might like to see these scans’ and you’re not wrong!
